DESCRIPTION:\nIt has been called one of the “greatest technological breakth
roughs since the Internet.” It also has been called “a black hole” into wh
ich a consumer’s money could just disappear. The subject at hand is crypto
currency—a medium of exchange created and stored electronically\, and usin
g encryption techniques to control the creation of monetary units and to v
erify the transfer of funds. Bitcoin\, perhaps the most widely known examp
le\, has been a media sensation and an investment fad. But so far this new
way of storing and spending value has inspired more debate than actual co
mmerce.\nOf course\, not all media coverage surrounding cryptocurrency has
been positive\, with several high profile situations noting Bitcoin’s use
in a variety of illicit contexts. Clearly this gives potential stakeholde
rs reason for concern. However\, it is our view that this simply highlight
s the need for constant vigilance and is not necessarily representative of
the industry as a whole. We also anticipate that this will change as the
industry matures.\nAt this week’s METal our expert guest speaker Omar Bham
will provide an overview of what cryptocurrency is and how much consumers
know about it. In addition\, he will discuss potential positive uses of t
his new instrument. Dispelling some of the myths surrounding cryptocurrenc
y\, while providing perspective on the promise and positive impact of the
blockchain public ledger technology behind it. We also discuss some potent
ial disruptive impacts of blockchain in other areas across the financial s
ervices industry.\nOmar Bham or his handle is Crypt0 is the top YouTube st
ar on Blockchain and cryptocurrency.
